Volunteer in the classroom or at school. There are many opportunities to help out directly with students during the day; chaperone a field trip, bring snack donations, help with picture day , be on lunch supervision duty, conduct recess supervision, etc. You must have completed the SPS volunteering application before working with students directly. Teachers may reach out directly to classroom families for these jobs and our PTA volunteer coordinator will send out emails to the parent community regularly with many of these requests. Here is a list of current and ongoing volunteer asks for the year.

Would you like to be a family facilitator? You would be able to do most of this from home via email. Your main responsibility would connecting families within the grade level by keeping a contact list for the grade and organizing class/family social gatherings. If needed, teachers may contact you for more connecting opportunities. There is a family facilitator coordinator who will help guide you with this role.

Lead an after school enrichment class! Do you have a talent or skill you would be able to share with kids? We are open to all ideas. Check out the after school enrichment page and reach out if you would like to participate.

Family Support committee is always looking for help. They work closely with the Family Support Worker to see the needs of the families at Leschi.

So many of the jobs that keep things rolling around Leschi are done at home by volunteers on their own time. We will need co-chairs and many jobs filled for the upcoming year.

Committees
sit on a committee and help the team by having a specific task. We are looking for new members in all areas.

Yearbook- design and create pages, take photos, manage student and staff lists, etc.

Finance, fundraising, treasury- collect checks, organize deposits, keep track of giving, send emails for fundraising purposes, create thank you notes and keep track of giving records.

Communications- change the reader board sign in the front of the school, update the PTA website, post events and reminders to social media, etc. We need a volunteer for each of these roles at the moment. If you have any interest, please reach out!

Spirit Wear- make orders, manage inventory, promote sales, oversee shirt distribution

We are always looking for new leaders and co-chairs to start signing up to take the lead for next year’s committee’s and events.

The executive committee is currently looking for co-presidents and co-VPs to take on the leadership for the 2024-2025 school year. Reach out if you have any interest in these positions.

If you’re interested in leadership, but don’t know where to start, sit on the PTA board as a member at large and learn the ropes. It’s a great way to be involved, but not overcommit. You can take it slow and see what needs to be done or where you can best help out.

Events like the Fall Fest, Taste of Leschi, Black History Night, Family Dance, all need co-chairs. Sign up with a friend or gain insight from a former chair. We are all here to help each other and provide great opportunities for our community.

Our Fundraising committee is looking to expand this year. Do you have any fundraising experience that you would like to share with our committee?
